Garry Coxall (born April 25th, 1922) was a cameraman and photographer. He worked in the film industry in the 1950s and 1960s, mainly as a camera operator and clapper loader. He was a cameraman on Thunderbirds season 1 and 2.

Born in Ontario, Canada, Coxall is of mixed Canadian and English descent. His paternal grandfather's parents (Garry Coxall's great-grandparents) were originally from England. They married in 1840 before relocating to Canada about 5 years later. Their grandson Lawrence married Ada McDougall, who was born and raised in north-east England before moving to Canada.

In late 1951, Coxall relocated to England, where he worked in the film industry; he contributed to Companions in Crime (1954), Make Me an Offer (1955), and the 1962 Intertel documentary Living with a Giant. Coxall later worked on Thunderbirds before moving back to Canada around the late 1960s. He is known to have resided in Toronto in January 1981.
